Ostimax (Deracoxib) Chewable Tablets for Dogs – 25 mg

• DESCRIPTIONOstimax Chewable Tablets contain Deracoxib, an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) that controls inflammation and pain associated with dental or orthopedic surgery, or with canine osteoarthritis.

  Key Benefits:

  • Deracoxib (the active ingredient in Ostimax) is different from other NSAIDs because it blocks COX-2, not COX-1. Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and most other NSAIDs block both of these enzymes.
  • COX-1 produces prostaglandins that are required for many bodily functions, including blood clotting, protection of the stomach lining, and normal kidney function.

    Formulated For: For use in dogs.
